Question Fuel Leak

Got a 96 F 250 7.3... I have a fuel leak and it settles on the intake. I have changed the fuel bowl, lines going to the fuel pump. I don't find any fuel around the fuel pump. The fuel seems to be settling around the banjo bolt but see no fuel leaking... Any suggestions?

The banjo bolt is known to loosen over time, maybe try ti tighten it. Sometimes an 1/8 of a turn is enough. The fuel restriction sensor is another place that is prone to leak. It leaks while the engine is running. If it is leaking, you can either replace it, or remove is and replace it with a pipe plug.
